Chapter 12: Those Who Surpass Miracles

The black monster responded to my call.

It slithered my way.

An honest response. One could even call it obedient.

It looked different from her, but the way it crept across the ground reminded me a little of Lily. Lily’s true form was large, but this one was even bigger. Its hue was also ominous, giving it an intimidating air. Above all else, the mana it exuded was terrifyingly dense. Honestly, I’d never felt anything like it, even including visitors.

It was a true monster. It wasn’t strange for it to have easily defeated Harrison’s group. However, even as such a dangerous presence drew nearer to me, I didn’t feel any fear.

I didn’t feel like I was in danger, after all. There wasn’t the slightest hint that it was going to attack me. Even though it was responsible for this terrible spectacle, it was so peaceful now.

“Aah...”

I should’ve felt relief, but all that was in my heart was a sense of loss.

“It really is you, Katou.”

The monster got closer to me, but showed no other reaction whatsoever. It simply approached. And yet, the feelers swaying about it seemed to remain vigilant. If anyone appeared to try and cause me harm, it would surely exercise its authority without mercy. It had in fact already annihilated Harrison’s group. Considering its apparent docility, if I moved, it would surely follow and protect me. If I gave it simple orders, it might even follow them. This monster’s simple presence guaranteed my safety.

That was sure to apply even if I left this place. It would definitely protect me from any and all danger. The fathomless strength I felt from this monster surpassed that of all other visitors. Just maybe, it could even contend with the exploration team. If looked at as a guard, it had no peers. It existed only to protect me. A certain type of person might find this wonderful.

However, it was completely different for me. I simply couldn’t accept it. I didn’t want to think about losing her. My quivering lips called out to her.

“Come back to me, Katou.”

So long as her sense of reason was gone, she wasn’t going to come back. In that case, I just needed to get it back. The only way to do that was to keep talking to her.

“Please open your eyes.”

I called out to her again. The monster simply stood there.

“Katou.”

I reached out and touched it. The monster simply stood there.

“Katou.”

I called out to her. Over and over, I kept calling out to her. However, the monster simply stood there.

“Katou...”

Naturally, my voice never reached her.

◆　◆　◆

I already knew.

As she was now, she wasn’t in a state to answer my call. Nevertheless, I’d bet on a ray of hope and had flung myself into this room. I hadn’t been able to help myself. And here was the result. No matter how much I wanted it, a miracle wasn’t going to happen.

I already knew.

If such miracles existed, Katou would never have gone through that hell the day the Colony fell.
